HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Saranas, a medical device company with a new technology for real-time
detection and monitoring of internal bleeding during endovascular
procedures, has been invited to present at the 29th
Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) annual scientific
symposium of the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), Oct. 31,
2017, in Denver, CO. Saranas was chosen to participate in the
conference’s Shark Tank Competition. The company’s lead product,
the Early Bird™ Bleed Monitoring System, is undergoing final product
testing. FDA submission is expected later this year.

President and CEO Zaffer Syed said, “We are very excited to be chosen to
present at this prestigious conference, especially from a highly
competitive field. We believe the Early Bird system is potentially an
important medical advancement for patients who can be affected by
serious bleeding complications during endovascular procedures.
Presenting at TCT gives us the opportunity to discuss exactly how the
Early Bird can do that.”

The Early Bird includes a vascular access sheath with embedded sensors
that are designed to detect and monitor bleeding from a blood vessel
accidentally injured during endovascular procedures, such as
transcatheter aortic valve replacement, large bore hemodynamic support
device placement, or other complex cardiac interventions, where the
femoral artery or vein is used to gain vascular access to the heart. The
technology was invented at the Texas Heart Institute.
